I am Santa...

Well, I was wondering if I should let people know my thoughts this Christmas. Well, here goes...

 

Thoughts in order of their appearance:

 

1. I took a good look in the Mirror...oh what did I see?  I am Santa, with a fake beard and a red outfit...... ...no, I look even older than Santa....

2. The end of the year is coming, and I still have mortgage payments, credit card bills, and more credit card bills considering all the people who don't matter, but are on the Christmas list that I usually send cookies, or food to every single year.....one thing that is comforting tho, if my husband and I ever get into one of those types of situation where we are on a boat and ended up standed on an island, or on some high mountain, or in a dessert somewhere out in the middle of nowhere,  even if we would be declared lost, I know my husband and I wouldn't have been able to make   the payments this year and we can be assured that  search parties would be immediately dispatched by  VISA, MASTERCHARGE, THE DUETCHE BANK, BANK OF PHILIPPINE ISLANDS,  ........

 

3. My grandson still believes in Santa...his mother, Ancie my daughter said that I shouldn't dissuade him from that belief since he was still a small child, and he shouldn't be deprived of that blissful thought there would be this man in red suit, white beard, with a sleigh, and 9 reindeers coming over to our house and placing toys under the tree for good little boys and girls.....when I told my grandson about the Holy Arch Angels, Raphael, Micheal, Gabriel, Uriel...my daughter said.." don't give him fantasies to believe in....its not good for his mental health..."

 

4. I wonder if in Spain, children believe in Santa Claus?   I guess it wouldn't be wise to display a man in a red suit near people who love bullfights...I heard in Spain the story is about Padre San Nicolas who was a bishop and he loved to give presents to the children in the orphanage by going out and knocking on people's doors to ask for money, clothes and donations for the children.

 

5.  ( to be continued)
